hello ladys.

im just wondering for all of you that use Bambino mio nappies do you find that they are bulky?

i loved using washable nappies with joshua.

i found though that the were bulky and pushed his legs out to the side.

i want to use them again for bump #2 but i cant decide if i need to get new covers.

do you feel happy how the bambino mio covers are?

They were bulky at first but got more trim with washing and as Jack grew into them a bit. I didn't think they were more bulky than other cloth nappies.

 

[Mrs-N]

so would you say babies legs would grow normally and not sticking out?
sounds stupid i know.

how do you dry yours?

i only used them for 7 months coz they kept leaking on joshua.

do you use them at night as well.

i found they were fine til we went into size2, then they just went really bulky and did the pushy outy leg thing. we've not really used them recently, but i've had a go with differnet folds and that makes them a lot less bulky. tbh at first, i thought they were a lot less bulky than the fitted nappies, but size2 are huge!! there's a thread of mine somewhere in here about different folds, asking advice. Momof2co's really good to ask, if you want different folds!

i just stuck mine on the radiator to dry, they dried in no time! i occasionally used them at night when we got to size2 and used a size1 inside aswell as a booster!

Jack has a lot of strength in his legs now and he stretches them out straight a lot with his feet pretty close together. So no, they don't appear to be growing funny. When he's standing I'm sure any bow-leggedness will wear out with him supporting his own weight.

i used them a couple of times at night but i didnt like risking it just incased they leaked and i had to mess around changing joshua at silly o'clock and he slept in a sleeping bag and didnt want that getting wee on either.

i would love to know different folds.

i just used the boy fold for joshua.

i used to dry them on the radiators too.

Sorry, Jack needed me!

We dried ours in the tumble drier on a low heat - they aren't meant to be dried directly on a radiator but if they came out of the machine slightly damp (which they did a lot) then we hung them on a clothes airer next to the radiator over night.

I never used them at night and don't use them any more, I'm a pocket-junkie now lol!

 

[Mrs-N]

im lost with these pocket things.

there's a fold where you put the nappy under their bum, twist it and pull it round the front and grip it with nappi nippas. cant remmeber what its called, thats dead good tho! if you google folds for prefolds there's loads of stuff out there!

whats the less bulky fold?
